Either this is the shit or I'm just an enormous Wu-Tang apologist. I'm halfway through and this is already better than Blueprint 3. I'm gonna listen to "Cold Outside" about 15 times tonight.

There are many reasons, many of them obvious, as to why people are gonna compare this to BP3.

That track with GZA and Rick is making my day right now.

They are both sequels to albums (by aging rappers) thought to be classics in the same genre. They both feature producers that are considered greats from different eras. They both leaked this week. One comes from the biggest rapper on earth. The other comes from a rapper that has struggled to stay relevant through the years. BP3, i'm sure had no problem being released. CL2 was dropped from Aftermath and shopped around for quite some time. One will sell great no matter how shitty it sounds. One will sell poorly no matter how great it sounds. Both feature a shitload of cameos.

Comparing these albums is about as natural as pissing in the morning.

edit: tommi beat me to it...

- Both hip hop albums.
- Both being released at about the same time.
- Both by prominent artists.
- Both the carry the name of earlier, classic albums.
- Debate about whether these albums will live up to those classic albums has been going on.
